General :: Authentication Failure For Root Logins (Fedora 12)?

Jan 20, 2010

I just got Fedora 12, and I used su root to change the bin ownership to my primary developer account. For some reason, though, all subsequent attempts to log in as root have had authentication failure, be it through su or through the startup login screen. This does NOT occur for adminstrator tools such as Groups and Users.

Debian Configuration :: Root Doesn't Have Permission To Change Passwords

Jun 19, 2014

I installed Debian Kit on my Asus Nexus 7 tablet, and after following the installation tutorial I got it running except for I'm stuck on the step to create a new user. (btw link: [URL] .... )

Here's how it went (I can't copy&paste from my tablet so I have to type out everything...):

Code: Select allroot@android-6c40984c21c156ae:/# adduser paul374
Adding user `paul374' ...
Adding new group `paul374' (5000) ...
Adding new user `paul374' (5000) with group `paul374' ...
Creating home directory `/home/paul374' ...

[Code] ....

So since I read somewhere that selinux had some permission problem, so I did a few chcons:

Code: Select allchcon --user=u --role=r --type=init --range=s0 /etc/passwd
chcon --user=u --role=r --type=init --range=s0 /etc/shadow
chcon --user=u --role=r --type=init --range=s0 /etc/gshadow

And it did take effect:

Code: Select allroot@android-6c40984c21c156ae:/# ls -Z | grep passwd
            u:r:init:s0 passwd
u:object_r:unlabeled:s0 passwd-
root@android-6c40984c21c156ae:/# ls -Z | grep shadow
            u:r:init:s0 gshadow
u:object_r:unlabeled:s0 gshadow-
            u:r:init:s0 shadow
u:object_r:unlabeled:s0 shadow-

...but still same thing as what happened in the beginning...

Anyway my goal is to create and be able to log in to another user so that I'm not stuck running root all the time. (Which, as we all know, is a bad idea.)

If there's a way to manually create the user by editing a few files, and root still won't be able to change passwords, I'm fine with that, as long as I have another user. Whatever it takes to just get a non-root user log-in-able...

I forgot to mention that since this is the Asus Nexus 7, there is no removable media, so chrooting from another Linux machine isn't an option, and neither is removing an SD card to use a LiveCD on it.

OpenSUSE :: Can't Change File Permissions As Root

Sep 25, 2010

I just wanted to set some file permissions right. As root:

Code:
# chown -R kikinovak:users /home/kikinovak/Documents

But all I get is a series of "Operation not permitted" errors. What's going on here? I tried this:

Code:
# find /home/kikinovak/Documents -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} ;

... with the same strange errors.

General :: Root To Change The Ownership Of A File?

Why would I need to be root to change the ownership of a file? Example: I'm logged in as dwadmin and I've created a file:

I want to change the ownership to another user, but am getting the following error: chown 511 testing.txt chown: changing ownership of `testing.txt': Operation not permitted

Ubuntu :: File Permissions / Ownership - Even Root Cannot Change

Aug 30, 2010

I have been VERY lucky and managed to restore from a formatted ext3 /home/ partition. I used testdisk to reset the original partition which had had nothing done to it since formatting(!). However some of the file permissions are a altered and I cannot change them. I have tried "su chmod" and even temporarily enabled the root account itself and tried to alter the ownership/permissions from root 'proper' without it helping.

Here is an example of the output of ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 martyn martyn 4096 (date) (time) sponsors
?-----S--T 63231 92820383 44090688 4286824785 (date) (time) order.xls

The first line looks like a normally formed output and indeed is readable. The second line looks corrupted and I don't have a clue how I can reclaim this - or even if it is possible. Should I count my blessings most of my files are intact and leave those be?

Debian Configuration :: Can't Umount Ramdisk After Loading New Root File System

Feb 1, 2010

I have built a kernel with a ramdisk(ramdisk.image.gz) included. Also in the kernel command line I specified root=/dev/ram0. I am trying to use this ramdisk to load a loopback file as the root filesystem off a fat partition. This is /sbin/init from the ramdisk.

#!/bin/sh
mount -n -t msdos /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/linux/linuxdsk.img
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt2

[Code]....

The problem is both umount and blockdev report "device is busy". I want to free up this RAM any suggestions?

General :: The KDE Login Screen Now Says "root Logins Are Not Allowed."?

Feb 20, 2010

Something has caused me to be locked out of root; the KDE login screen now says "root logins are not allowed." It's not as though I don't know the password--I set it up. I might have deleted something I'm not supposed to, because before this, root had also become invisible at the KDE login screen.

Debian Configuration :: Change The Driver File And Compile Custom Kernel

May 3, 2011

When I only change a driver file manually, for example /newkernel/linux-source-.6.32/drivers/gpu/drm/i915_drv.h, do I need to run "make config" or similar like "make menuconfig" or can I just skip? I mean these steps:

1.) apt-get install linux-source-2.6.32
2.) mkdir ~/newkernel/
3.) cp /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2 ~/newkernel/
4.) cd /newkernel/
5.) tar xjf linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2
6.) cd linux-source-2.6.32
7.) cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) ./.config yes "" | make oldconfig
8.) change the driver file /newkernel/linux-source-2.6.32/drivers/gpu/drm/i915_drv.h manually
8.) make-kpkg clean
9.) make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision=custom.001 kernel_image kernel_headers
10.) dpkg -i *.deb

Is this way OK or do I miss something?

Fedora :: Can't Change The Root Password

Jul 30, 2009

I got during my last year of high school, and I recently installed Fedora 11. During the installation, I misunderstood one of the questions, and set my root password as what I wanted my account password. I want to go in and change it, because it's pretty easy to figure out and has me feeling really vulnerable, but it won't let me. I went to System-Administration-Root Password, entered my password, and put in a new one, but it won't let me click Change Root Password. The button is faded out and unclickable. I've tried several different passwords, and triple-checked each to make sure I typed it in correctly, but it won't work.

Fedora :: Only Run App As Root - Change Permissions

Jul 24, 2010

after a fresh install of fedora 13 I was expecting a few niggles and here's one, I've googled and read man chmod and chown and there seems to be plenty of conflicting advice, oh yeah the problem, I installed a package called get_iplayer (allows downloading of bbc iplayer content) via yum, only thing is I can only run it as root whereas in f12 I could as a normal user. It's probably the simplest command to change permissions, also I can't find any info on what the different numbers mean (775 777 etc)

Fedora :: Can't Change Root Passwd - Even In Singleuser Mode

Feb 17, 2009

FC9 - Sulphur, x86, nothing fancy

Did an update (damn the unofficial repos!)

Found a problem with pam_passwdqc module.

Like the title says, I'm unable to change root's password.

I boot into singleuser mode, run passwd, get the

Code:

Boot into multiuser mode and I'm still unable to login.

Two questions:
1) Anyone have a 'default' /etc/pam.d/system-auth that I can replace with the system-auth that was obliterated by the pam_passwdqc update?

2) Any other ideas?
